Down is Wrong

The fall rain smells better on the 10th floor 

 

The rain feels different up here

 

The cold railing that I hold on to, all of sudden feels like it’s slipping from my grasp 

 

Your arms wrapped around my waist comforts the both of us 

 

I’m learning and listening to the person I’ll eventually be

 

I’ve played this clip in my head over and over 

 

It didn’t end this happy, but now I see 

 

The dark sheets that covered my ability to live, you went ahead and tossed them out 

 

Something I couldn’t do on my own

 

They’ve lingered long enough
